A trip down memory lane…
It’s like a freakin’ car crash.

So I was bored and started sifting through my old classmates on mySpace. Freakin’ weird. You should try it.

And while you’re at it, add me as a friend.


Weird for these reasons

1. Some people look exactly the same as they did 5 years ago.
2. Some people look completely different than they did 5 years ago.
3. I cannot believe I had crushes on some of these losers!

Let’s talk about point item #3 for a second.

Holy
cow, thank goodness I was always too shy / too ugly / too socially
outcast to ever actually act on my desires in high school. My
goodness! Most of the guys that I had crushes on, I wouldn’t even
think twice about these days [not saying that they would ever look
twice at me, but if they did, I would totally [politely] reject them]


Low self esteem much?

Gag. Gag gag. Gag.

Excuse
me. Anyhow, now that my stomach is emptied, let’s talk about why in
the world I might have found these guys attractive in the first place.
Was it my low self esteem? My inherent boy-craziness? My starvation of
attention from the opposite sex? [I was quite teh nerd]

I have no idea, but I’ll tell you one thing: I’m very very very glad my standards are so much higher these days. :)


P.S.
Another shocking thing! One of my classmates is not married, but
DIVORCED and with a kid! holy moly! [I graduated high school 2001, so
we’re all around 22 / 23]


Do you ever find out weird things on mySpace or the internet about the people you know?

also…

Do you find that low-self esteem makes you do/feel things you wouldn’t normally do or feel?

good questions!  myspace is so weird.  it’s like you’re stalking ppl, but not. haha
i think low self-esteem does make you do that, but at the same time, i think the ppl you keep close to you may either build or lower your self esteem also. = \ ie. if a person that was close to you said you’re always fat and you should watch what your eat. it’ll get to you somehow no matter how many times you tell yourself you look JUST fine the way you are.  know what i mean?

Imagine that you have low self esteem, you are not worth much, you have little value…But a huge ego.I am the piece of shit the universe revolves around, or the angst ridden drama of life that everyone may possibly have, but mine is most important!There are things I did out of low self esteem I would NEVER do now, like compulsive sex. Sleeping with someone for affirmation, not any connection.That is a start.Do those stories ring a bell?Exhibitionism can be an addiction though, like any drug or seedy behavior. A little bit at a time what was once acceptible to us moves further from what is the norm to us as our lives grow meaning.You are lucky you are 23 and not 30, but that is only from my perspective.I would never look at an escort and think “that piece of shit” or a tranny hooker or a foster kid or someone out of a group home.That was once me, and we all find our way.A pink faced republican spouting Jesus and practicing hate though, dont get hit by a car near me, because I might have to pee and be in a hurry.And that too may change in time. But I doubt it.

ryc: yea, some ppl say if you have maintain a healthy self-esteem and if you have confidence, your self-esteem cannot get lowered.  i completely disagree with that.  i think, as human-beings, we all have some self-esteem issues because it’s built on natural human emotions/feelings, etc. 
in fact, i find the cockiest guys/bullies are the ones that have the lowest self-esteems most of the time.

radjbo said,

August 17, 2006 @ 11:32 am

and ppl that lower other ppl’s self-esteem do it to make themselves feel better and to “build” their own self-esteem.
that was probably your ex-bf.

*2nd ?*

Low self estem being the reason deep down why i stay with the boyfriend i have now. I’m scared he’s truely a great/nice guy.  i feel like i could never achieve this thing ever again altho i’m well aware that he’s not the best for me but the mix of laziness and low self estem keeps me from moving on.

Myspace is a acid trip down memory lane sometimes.

VortexInfinitum said,

myspace IS kinda stalker-ish ^^;and i’ve always had low self-esteem, but over the past years, I’ve been becoming more confident in myself, and I love myself for that. I guess it was always concern of what other people thought about me, but I’ve lost most of it (of course, you have to keep SOME concern).

A lot of the guys that girls idolized in high school ended up with fat beer guts and pumping gas for a living…that’s why!

maybe you were just an ugly duckling.  Now you’re a sexy shiny goose.

timbospoo said,

seems to me that a girl being nerdy would get her lots of attention from the opposite sex… you’d be like the one girl at all the chess or magic the gathering or cs tournaments that all the guys stare at out of the corner of their eyes and think “awesome” but are prolly too embarassed to talk to. hell you probably were that girl and were getting tons of attention but just never realized it cuz the guys weren’t showing it. huuzzah for nerd psychology!timbo!

I always find weird things from MySpace…I have 2 friends (around 18-19) that have 6 mth old babies already! I also found out that a friend is some raunchy model and poses practically nude in photos. It’s pretty repulsive.I added you on myspace. I couldn’t help but notice on your page that you went to Westmont? that’s cool. I’m from San Jose. it’s weird knowing that i’ve been reading your blog as a total stranger, and we’re from neighboring cities.

i dont think it has anything to do wif low self-esteem that you liked those guys. i have the exact same feeling too when i looked back at ppl i used to like in the past.
Prolly you were younger and have not socialize as much and dont meet that many people as you do now hence they were top of the crop then. also count in the fact that you have grown up quite a bit and people taste for another person change.

i find drinking helps compensate my low self-esteem

x__inkypens said,

weird enough, my low self-esteem never made me do something i wouldnt normally do. my standards have always been pretty high. O__o almost TOO high, for anyone to meet. but, i guess looking at your friends date total losers will do that to you.

I graduated in 2002, I’ve found out there where many people married right after high school, some just went out and got knocked up or knocked somebody up. A result of boredom I assume. It’s scary to think of the people who are now someone’s parent. Especially when those people were/are the craziest people you’ve ever known.
Have you seen any people who haven’t aged well? I know this one guy who is only 21 but looks like he’s in his late thirties.

yeah i tried to search for my high school classmates when i got a myspace too, but couldn’t really find any. my “generation” is too old to use it i suppose.low self-esteem definitely prompts you to do things differently, mostly it stops you from going places and doing things socially. instead of hitting the clubs and bars looking hot, you’d defer to staying at home watching dvds in sweats.

PandaFairy said,

ohh yeah, i learn a lot of things about old friends on myspace. Such as…. “woah! they’re going out?”, “when did they break up?!”, “*snicker snicker* so-and-so is bashing so-and-so on so-and-so’s myspace!” i find the occasional “myspace comment arguments” and read them for laughs.everybody does stupid stuff because of their self-esteem without even realizing it. i once had a ghetto phase because i believed everyone disliked me because i was too asian. *cough cough*

Hey, your posts are not only funny, but also deep. So i’ll suscribe to that :)I always find out weird things on xanga … and low esteem definetely affects the way people feel or think. :)

bonnerx said,
